...or manners? Imagine a person who is brought up in a home where they weren't taught to respect other people or their belongings.
They also weren't taught manners.
When said person turns into an adult, is it their fault if they are not respectful and have no manners?
The person was not taught these things, so how can they be expected to know any better?
I'm of the opinion that, once a person becomes an adult, they should know how to act, regardless of the way they were raised.
The word "bad" can be relative.
In other words, what you may think is bad in terms of behavior, I may not.
However, I'm referring to the basics here.
When I say [or type] "poor upbringing," I'm referring to people who are rude and have no class.
You know them: The people who cut in line, have no problem insulting others, take what belongs to someone else without asking, demand certain things and are just very unpleasant to be around.
If such individuals act the way they do because they were not taught by their parents to treat other people and their stuff with respect, are they at fault once they become adults?
What do you think?
